Children requiring medical help need to be identified as soon as possible at home by the parents and outside (in the anganwadi centres/ schools/ sub – health centres/ through camps), and then they need to be assessed through a team of specialists to plan necessary interventions. Timely identification of impairments, a secondary prevention, can reduce the impact of the impairment on the functional level of the individual and also in checking the impairments from becoming a disabling condition.
